‘CPP chooses Gabby Nketia as running mate’

Mr. Gabby Nketia, a politician and a businessman, has worked with both the Ghana Armed Forces and the British Army, and is expected to complement the efforts of Mr. Greenstreet, with his international influence to help enhance the party’s chances of winning the elections.
‘CPP petitioned to discipline Greenstreet’
Meanwhile, a member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), has petitioned the party’s disciplinary committee over comments made by the party’s flagbearer, Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, suggesting that President Mahama did nothing wrong in accepting a ford expedition vehicle gifted him by a Burkinabe contractor.
According to the petition sighted by Citifmonline.com, Greenstreet’s position on the matter calls for an application of Article 111(b) of the party’s constitution which states that any member who brings the name of the party into disrepute should be sanctioned.
